In-office test results, into PCC EHR.

Quick answer

Yes. PCC EHR receives electronic lab results through HL7 results (ORU) interfaces into its E-lab Results queue, and PCC says it supports results interfaces with more than 70 lab vendors, all built in-house. Catenix collects each result from your in-office analyzers, checks quality control and patient identity, and sends it as an HL7 result. A connection from Catenix is a new interface, requested on PCC's Interoperability Request Form and built with PCC's developers.

Pediatric offices run a lot of tests in the room: rapid strep, flu and RSV, hemoglobin, lead screening, urine dipsticks and glucose. On a busy day each one is a value read off a small analyzer and typed into the chart between patients.

Catenix removes that typing. It talks to the analyzers on the bench, keeps the quality-control and staff competency records an inspector expects, and sends finished, checked results into PCC the same way PCC receives results from outside labs.

What your practice asks PCC for

The connection is set up with your practice and PCC's interface team. These are the steps PCC's own public pages describe, in order.

1. Fill in PCC's Interoperability Request Form for a new results interface, naming Catenix as the sending system. PCC asks for your account details, your contact at the sender and the point person at your practice.
2. PCC's developers contact Catenix to agree the method. PCC's 2026 user-conference session says that for e-lab results this is generally HL7 ORU.
3. Agree the fee and timing. The same PCC session says a new lab connection usually carries a fee of around $5,000, and that development can take from months to over a year.
4. During testing, results are sent to a test patient and compared. You then configure your in-house lab tests in PCC, with your in-office lab as the default facility where PCC's lab setup guide suggests it.

For your IT or interface contact

PCC lists HL7 ORU (unsolicited observation) messages as its lab results interface, and also offers an HL7 ADT demographics feed that some lab connections use to receive patient details. PCC's 2026 materials describe one existing third-party route for in-office equipment that relies on such a demographics feed; a connection from Catenix would be its own new interface through the request form. Catenix produces an HL7 v2 observation result (ORU^R01) with LOINC codes where your tests have them, the ordering provider and abnormal flags.

On the analyzer side, Catenix captures results over HL7, POCT1-A2, ASTM or the device's own format. See the device library for how individual analyzers connect, and lab analyzer to EHR for orders, quality-control holds and the audit trail.

Catenix sends results through the standard lab results interfaces that the systems named on this page publish or offer, set up with each practice and the vendor. Catenix has no certified, tested or formal arrangement with PCC, and naming PCC here does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by it. Product and company names are the trademarks of their respective owners and are used for identification only. What connects in your setting is confirmed during implementation.
